On this week’s episode, we have the opportunity to hear part 2 of Tiffany’s NICU journey with her twin girls, Finley and Isla! Throughout this episode we have the opportunity to hear more about Isla’s NICU journey and what life at home looked like for their family of 5.
While in the NICU with her twin Finley, Isla was diagnosed with MRSA at 2 weeks old. When they later discovered she had pulmonary hypertension, she was then life-lighted to a Children’s Hospital 4 hours away from home. While there, she contracted pneumonia, but she miraculously recovered and was then able to withstand both a trach surgery and a g-tube surgery. She came home after 414 days in the NICU, two days before Christmas!
Tiffany shares about what it was like to have all of her kids at home, what it was like to become a medically complex NICU mom, and also how she took brave steps to address her mental health. We hope this episode affirms that you are worth the time it takes to heal. <3
